He's basically a traditional 5 now. Good player, but at the end of the day he's likely to have some of the same limitations Lively has, but with a different (less important for Mavs, I'd argue) set of strengths. I think he'd be a fine get as a backup center, but I think it would be overkill, given Mavs' needs and assets, and I don't really buy this idea of him playing WITH Lively. I think the upside of adding WCJ is injury insurance on Lively and a slightly increased chance that you can get away with playing one of them in the playoffs. All good stuff, but I don't think it accomplishes what the Mavs seem to want to accomplish, given the quotes and the obvious.
